Coleophora inulae (Wocke, 1876)
Status ..... A surprising addition to the Nottinghamshire list in September 2013, when we found two full grown larval cases on Fleabane (Pulicaria dysenterica) at Warsop Main Pit Top. This is a very local moth of Nationally notable A status, believed to be declining and found at only a handful of UK sites of which most are in Hampshire. Coleophora inulae has a two year life cycle and the larvae are full grown by the July of their second year.
